In a rather fitting change, the Michael Bay-produced pandemic thriller “Songbird” is ditching its planned cinema release for a Premium VOD release on December 11th.
Audiences can rent the film for $19.99 for a 48-hour period according to distributor STX who add that the film will land on a streaming service following that PVOD run for a few months. Which service wasn’t made clear.
Filmed entirely during the coronavirus crisis, the first movie to shoot in Los Angeles in the middle of the ongoing pandemic, the story is set a few years in the future when a mutated strand of coronavirus called COVID-23 wreaks havoc on the world’s population.
As the country-wide lockdown stretches into its fourth year, infected Americans are forced into quarantine camps. Pne courier (KJ Apa), who is immune to the virus, falls in love with an aspiring artist (Sofia Carson) who is believed to have become infected.
Adam Mason directs from a script he co-wrote with Simon Boyes. Craig Robinson, Bradley Whitford, Demi Moore and Paul Walter Hauser co-star.
